LearnAbility Sessions
Get ahead with LearnAbility sessions!
The college learning environment often means studying with different approaches to fit a particular course as well as your learning style. The more you understand which study strategies work best for you, the more likely you will achieve at desired levels.
Earning the grade you want includes understanding how you learn, reading with comprehension and retention, taking functional lecture notes, using time effectively, and taking tests well. Select the LearnAbility session that fits your needs in learning how to learn in the college setting.
New!!! This semester there are LearnAbility Sessions for international students. These workshops are geared toward developing skills useful in the American university. All students are welcome!
